Bennett has asked the Secretary of the In-- 1 terior to schedule work im-mediately on two diking pro-- 1 jects on Utah Lake. He said the work should begin this summer to provide immediate drought relief for Utah County and Salt Lake County. In a letter to Interior Secretary Stewart Udall, released by the Senators recently Washington Office, Sen. Bennett noted that the two dikes are now scheduled to be built in 1966 as part of the Upper Colorado Projects Central Utah Phase. He said, however, that they should be reprogrammed and started this summer. Sen. Bennett said the dikes would provide an immediate of saving of 90,000 acre-fewater per year. The water is now lost through evaporation from the lake. Which is extremely shallow. The Goshen t, Dike would save 60,000 and the Provo Bay Dike would save 30,000. It is tragic to waste 90,000 acre feet of water yearly, especially when there is a drought, Sen. Bennett said. That is 29.4 billion gallons of lost each year in a wa-- 1 area. This is enough av-water to supply fully-aerage Western City of 403,000 people. The Senator noted that 1 j et of contracts year is expected to be about 15,000 acre feet, which is only 25 percent of normal.
